LAZY
I just lost my job I just lost my girl Things
are getting way out of con, but my living proof is right with sense Sucks me
down - I'll never leave Head on down - like cable TV I'm burned out and lazy
Looking Dwelling Fuck me I'm lazy Look at my cat Why can't I live like that? All
of the animals except us, do nothing else but eat and shit, Yesterday - is past
the time To my ?? - and my wraith begun Another week - another month Going
Always Fuck you I'm lazy I have no fault to fear, I'm down here There's nothing
to fear, no changes 'Cause having it all means nothing I am not any other ???
reality like you Blue day again Trying to intent A thought wishing nothing, I
should go act of faith, no ?? Yesterday - is past the time To my ?? - it's not
that year Another month - another year
KNOW IT ALL
Look at the world in disbelief You used
to follow - now you lead College has enlightened you And you are proud to be
different And like different bands - different types You ain't nobody's fool
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated 'Cause they didn't wear
the right clothing And there's only one true fashion Alot of the bands on the
college charts are great bands until they get signed. Then you hate them It's
such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite I remember you and I
listening to bands that we liked Only the songs mattered to you But now you're a
D.J. and preaching that hype "Corporate Rock Sucks" "You know, college radio
enlightens you" It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands without
prejudice, but it makes no sense Safe harbor for the underground 'Til the
alternative becomes the popular sound The bands are good 'til they make enough
cash to eat food and get a pad Then they're sold out and their music is cliché
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay Know it all - Did you really
listen to that song? Could you ever write what you call wrong?
STOCKIN' THE NEIGHBORS
Friday night's the perfect
night to mow some neighbor's lawn, And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too
long. And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun,
Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash. They're driving through your
yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more
than just a few. Suburban families slumber in civility, Awakened to the sights
and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their death machine. Drive,
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive... Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's
working overtime, And he is full throttle--full throttle tonight. (Alright!) He
was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox, Dumped it
in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!) Came time to run, came
time to bail, He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail. He had no
"Triple A" for a tow truck, Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal,
you're fucked!" Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks, And then
his liquid mind takes over how he thinks. And then all that matters is having
fun, pulling off the next beer run, On one too many nights, the party's over.
He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the
wheel, and he's had more than one or two. Suburban families slumber in civility,
Awakened to the aftermath: the neighbors have been stoked...
GIVE IT BACK
Try to ignore him Try to have
self-control When that tounge slips just once its in his eyes Silence by energy
push me down And it likes to come again Here to make you listen to them Treated
to many times The eye for eye has left us blind This creature of demise, repaid
all the time You hate them, you hate yourself Take it out on someone else I feel
a change within myself, I used to be out of control I always knew in
hurricane(?), that inspiration was a game And now it seems as grow old, as I
mature I'm lesser bold I can't believe how cruel and cold some people act, I
give it back Cause I don't want it, and I don't need itso I give it back Don't
want to understand the child abuse, the past gone violent don't justify his
violent nature Sooner or later I hope he meets his maker once again and like his
father before him he kills himself Cause I don't want it and I don't need itso I
give it back You hate them, you hate yourself take it out on someone else
RUST
They make your bed, don't they Long ago they
fought and died for faith - what's changed ? It's said that we've acquired
tolerance to build more bridges Cross those rivers, yet modern man enslaves his
conscious and the undertow of blame still flows between Give it birth to the
machine - hostilities of ancestry Slow to understand the variance - quick to
judge on one aspect - rust We call them fools today - they will call us fools in
days to come - always In any age it's ignorance He that he's not with me is
against me The river of pride swells to high, washing those bridges out to sea
Give it birth to the machine Too proud to love - Too proud Soaking in your fears
- rusting away Never comprehending - always condescending Slow to understand the
variance - quick to judge - quick to condem Carried them for years - stones that
they once cast Place the blame on them as if it were their past Yesterdays
distrust Resent, Regret, disgust Still we pay for their living - pay for their
mistakes Who will cast the latest stones of hate Pay for their misgivings - pay
for their living - still we find that on the surface there is rust
GOIN' SOUTH
Gotta drive all night if not a go Got to
designate a driver before the show It's your turn now at the wheel There's
nothing like a guard rail to wake you up in the middle of the night And we are
drivin' north, goin' south It looks like we'll sleep here, we're out of beer
We're headed south on the north bound Our wheels might as well be square cause
we're not really getting anywhere Tire tracks throughout, felt the brakin', I
don't think we're gonna make it Drivin' around, goin' downIt looks like we'll
sleep here, I need a beer South, goin' south, check us out we're goin' south
South, headed south, check it out, we're goin' downSouth, goin' south
DIS'CHORDS
Silent again - when spoken their is
friction and conflict why do we rub each other wrong maybe we've known each
other too well for too long you and i have heard each other speech before are
these words that i said - the same words that you heard we can only agree to
disagree in disharmony is it too much likeness or indifference well the answers
in the question isn't it the deepest cut of all comes from a trusted friend but
i'm sick of it all i can't listen i wish that all of it would end you cut me off
- i cut you down jerrated words let's stop repeating the lesson. We've been
through thick n' thin i consider you a friend though it's hard for me show
everytime you hear this song you'll know it's not just the business we know much
more exist let's end the bad notes and the dis'chords we'll tune our attitude
and realize a personal reward
COFFEE AND CIGARETTS
I'm getting used to getting old
but where's my ambition - Days of omission I feel broken down inside because my
words seem to be trite adding to the overwhelming Always a question of truth
your truths question my efficiency Shocking - The words you can't hear Impact -
The words I can't write Recycled words don't justify... none of these words
suffice searching for the sharp words to drive the message in I put the last
words down then I begin to question the truth Your truths question my efficiency
Impact the words you can´t hear Shocking the words I can´t write
BROWN EYED GIRL
Hey where did we go, days when the
rain came. Down in the hollow, playin' a new game. Laughin' and a runnin' , hey
hey, skippin' and a jumpin' in the misty mornin' fog with our hearts a thumpin'
at you, The Brown-Eyed Girl You're my Brown-Eyed Girl Now what ever happened,
Tuesday is so slow, Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio
standin' in the sunlight laughin' hidin' behind a rainbow wall Slippin' and a
slidin', all along the waterfall with you, the Brown-Eyed Girl You're my
Brown-Eyed Girl. Do you remember when, ah we used to sing Sha la la la la la la
la la la la dee dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah la dee dah So hard
to find my way, now that I'm all on my own I saw you just the other day, my how
you had grown, [...] sometimes overcome thinkin' bout, makin love in the green
grass, behind the stadium with you. the Brown-Eyed Girl You, my Brown-Eyed Girl.
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee
dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah la dee dah
WHIPPING BOY
now it's simple to me Sometimes you
have to let go when there's Next to nothing You say everytime she says no
There's more pain then love It comes o shove almost Everytime you speak Somehow
you fight Something's just crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you
You'er losing ground Carrying that torch Your not asking for much As she has...
Had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer an you... Had time to drink
and you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning
she says stop calling cause... Everyone's asleep Some of us work You're driving
me crazy When will you get on with my life Now every nights friday night Picking
fights with your friends Somehow trying to make amends So you seach for comfort
in a friend It's not the same she won't understand You both learned to think
alike So what was so wrong Where's she tonight out there drinking while you're
left in thinking It's taken all the life left in... You You're losing ground
Carrying that torch You're not asking for much Still somehow You'll wait for her
You say she'll return But you still carry that torch That girl WHIPPING BOY!!!
NO ONE
Labors of commitment Blood of his arms A
growing sense of duty But in his song he's screaming out Insuficient - he just
falls further behind Principles, purpose, tradition, time Weigh heavy on this
guilty mind Wits astray Blind in rage, awar he'll wage on grieving Another no
one hanging from the ceiling Because only the extreme makes an impression When
drowning in the mainstream One at the mercy of another's faith finally answers
to no one in his fall from grace They say they love him but how could they ever
Miles above him they ask for repent It doesn't matter what you want from me
Don't think there's worth in my apology Because people never really change You
and I will always be the same and it's a problem that we can't mend because it
happened once it will happen again Because they plant their seeds of condition
until we have no choice, we lose conviction wits astray Blind in rage a war
he'll wage on grieving Another no one blows his head off Because only the
extreme makes an impression when drowning in the mainstream no one
BYE FOR NOW
Here comes the day I see my friends far
away, When I grow up inside what will happen to me? The city sights the business
types, I can see but where are you? Bye for now. Didn't mean to let you down,
Didn't mean to drive you away. Bye for now! Now that your not around, So many
things I'd like to say! See here I think I've found the missing link, The piece
that holds us together. If I had my way I'd here you say that it's OK,
Friendship should last for ever. Bye for now. Didn't mean to let you down,
Didn't mean to drive you away. Bye for now! Now that you're not around, So many
things I'd like to say! Didn't mean to let you down. Didn't mean to let you
down. Didn't mean to let you down. Didn't mean to let you down. Didn't mean to
let you down. Never meant to let you down. Didn't mean to let you down.
